StemCell Technologies Inc. To Commercialize BrainPhys Neuronal Culture Medium For Improved Support Of Neurophysiological Activity

VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--STEMCELL Technologies Inc. has today announced that it has signed a license agreement with the Salk Institute for Biological Sciences for the rights to commercialize BrainPhys™ Neuronal Medium.

BrainPhys™ medium, described in a recent publication in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (C. Bardy et al., Epub ahead of print), was invented by Cedric Bardy in the lab of renowned neuroscientist Fred H. Gage. Classical culture media used for neuronal culture applications were found to impair action potential generation and synaptic communication. In order to improve the physiological relevance of neuronal culture conditions, Bardy et al. developed BrainPhys™ medium to better represent the environment experienced by neurons in the human brain.
